Doces conventuais de Arouca

Regional Dessert €

Among the regional sweets of the Região de Aveiro region of Portugal, Doces conventuais de Arouca holds a special place — made to a recipe resistant to industrial imitation. Portugal's convent sweets tradition — surplus egg yolks, sugar and centuries of monastic ingenuity — gave birth to some of the world's most distinctive pastries. Small-batch production by family confectioners in Região de Aveiro keeps the recipe close to its origins. Best enjoyed fresh with a bica coffee — the definitive sweet moment of any visit to Região de Aveiro.
